5 Best “Woman on Top” Sex Positions

Imagine the perfect passion position: It would be comfortable, make you feel seductive and sensual and all but guarantee an earth-shattering climax. Sound like sexual science fiction? Actually, it’s woman on top — the carnal configuration that flips missionary sex on its head and puts you in total control. “Being on top offers more gratification than other sex styles because it lets you feel close to your partner and puts you in charge of your own pleasure,” explains Beverly Whipple, Ph.D., sex educator and professor emeritus of nursing at Rutgers University. “You decide how fast the pace is and how deep your guy will enter you, making it more likely that you will reach orgasm.”

Another benefit? It makes guys go gaga. In fact, the men in a recent Cosmo sex survey rated it their number one way to knock boots. Seems that the sight of you playing cowgirl in his saddle is enough to burn him up with lust. Surprisingly, we get tons of emails from readers saying they have no clue how to move in the female-superior pose and are scared of looking like a rodeo rider gone wrong. Well, honey, we think it’s high time you ditch those jitters and hop aboard your favorite bronco. To assist you in adding woman-on-top to your erotic repertoire, we’ve come up with the five best ways to master this mattress-quaking maneuver.

Cowgirl

One of the best things about the Cowgirl position is the amount of clitoral stimulation it provides. The more the woman leans forward, the better the friction.

 

Asian Cowgirl

Take her to the peak of pleasure mountain with this rodeo ride of a lifetime. Ideal for when guys are low on stamina or in need of a break, let her do the work and sit back and enjoy the view.

 

Inverted Missionary

The Inverted Missionary position is exactly what it sounds like, the Missionary position with her on top and him underneath.

 

Betty Rocker

In the Betty Rocker Position, she picks the angle and speed of the thrusting, so there’s plenty of opportunity to experiment and find that inside hot spot.

 

The Beetle

Unlike most rear entry positions in which he holds the reins, the Beetle puts her squarely in control. To tease him, she may partially lower herself onto his cock, then raise up again. He may beg for her to take the full plunge, but tantalizing him in this way will please him as much as her.
